Rustla Mutt Pay Entira Cott of War
and Give Up Sakhalin.

second day's session. A formal ex
change of credentials was made in mak
ing presentation. The ride to the
naval yards was made in automobiles.
Arrangements for privacy are complete.

gotiations. Conditions on which the J t panose
desired to make peace were presented
to the Russians in writing this morn
ing. The conference decided that the
Russians shall study the question and
will as soon as possible give an asnwer
in writing. Until then the meetings
of the conference are tdjonrned. ,
St. Petersburg, Aug. 11. The gov.
eminent officials now take a more op
timistic view of the outcome of peace
negotiations. It is reported that M.

already knew the Japanese terms and
that they are acceptable with a few
amendments. He believes that the
Japanese will agree to the changes he
will propese.
Portsmouth, N. II., Aug. 11. Re
imbursement of the expense sustained
in the prosecution of the war and the
cession of the island of Sakhalin con
stitute the main features of the peace
conditions hsnded by Baron Koiuura
to M. Witte at the conclusion of the
morning session of the envoys in the
general stores building of the Ports
mouth navy yard. The word "indem
nity" was carefully avoided, the term
applied being "reimbursement" for
the cost of the war. No sum is fixed,
the amount being distinctly withheld
for mutual adjustment between the two
countries after the Japanese expendi
tures have been ascertained.
The other terms are substantially
what the world expected and with one
or two exceptions could probably be
entertained as a basis of negotiations
They include the following:
The cession of the Russian leases to
the Liaotung peninsula, comprising
Port Arthur and Dalny.
The evacuation of the entire pro
vince of Manchuria, the retrocession
to China of any privileges Russia may
have in the province and the recog
nition by Russia of the principle of
the "open door.."
The cession to Japan of the Chinese
Eastern railway below Harbin, the
main line through Northern Manchuria
to Vladivostok to remain Russian prop
erty.
The recognition of the Japanese pro
tectorate over Corea.
The grant of fishing rights in Siberia
northward from Vladivostok.
The relinquishment to Japan of all
Russian ships interned in neutral ports
Finally, a limitation in the naval
strength of Russia in Far Eastern
waters.
RESCUED FROM ARCTIC.
Expedition of 1903 Found by Relie
Party Just in Time.
Christiana, Norway, Aug. 11. An
thony Fiala's expedition to the north
jole has been rescued. The Terra
Nova, the relief ship sent out in March
to find the explorers, was sighted today
off Honigvag. She signaled that site
had on board Anthony tiala and his
party. One Norwegian seaman in the
party did of natural cauBes.
The party reached a latitude of 82
degrees 82 minutes north latitude.
William Ziegler, the late baking
powder millionaire, Bent out Anthony
Fiala in 1903 to discover the north
pole. The party sailed in the steam
ship America. They penetrated to the
latitude given when their ship became
locked in as the ice grew solid in the
Arctic winter. There was nothing to
do but to battle with the ice, cutting
away that nearest the boat that the
upheaval of the great blocks of ice
might not crush the vessel. These
efforts, however, were vain, and early
in the winter the America was ground
to pieces in the polar pack.

REFUSE JTHE TERMS
Russian Envoys Will Not Consider
Payment ot Indemnity.
NOR WILL THEY YIELD SAKAHALIN
Petes' Prospect Is Black Witt Ds
livers Reply to Japanese
Both Sides Firm,
Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 12. -Russia's
reply to the Japaneee terms of
peace were delivered by M. Witte to
Baron Komura at 9:80 o'clock today.
The reply is written, there being two
texts, one in French, the other in Kny
lish. Upon the two crucial points, tn
demnity and the cession of the island
ot Sakhalin, the reply is an absolute
nonpoesumus. Other points are ac
cepted as a basis for discussion, while
others are accepted conditionally,
The reply is rather long, because, in
enumerating the conditions on which
discussion is admitted and those on
which consideration is declined, rea
sons and arguments are given. The
Japaneee plenipotentiaries asked for an
immediate adjournment to examine
and prepare their reply. M. Witte
intimated that the Russian plenipoten
tiaries expect the Japanese to display
as much expedition as they, "the Rut
sians, have shown in the preparation
of their response." Monday, there
fore is expected to be the day on which
the real discussion of the negotiations
will begin. Neither side wants to In
dulge in diplomatic sparring. The
time for fencing is over and lest than
a week must decide whether a basis of
peace is possible.
The tactics of the Japanese are in
scrutable. They have shown through
out the war their ability to guard their
secrets, military, naval and diplomatic,
and now not the remotest clue comes
from behind their closed doors as to
whether they are prepared to make
substantial concessions. Silence snd
secrecy are their watchwords. But,
should the conditions as submitted con
stitute their last word, hope of peace
may be regarded as having disappeared,
if the feeling reflected in Russian cir
cles is a true criterion. And that no
substantial concessions on , the main
issues will be made is the belief both in
Russian and Japanese - circles. M.
Witte, it is positively known, believes
the prospects of an agreeent are so re
mote as to be practically nil. He has
no desire to prolong the agony, and in
stead of fencing when the envoys come
together after the Japanese have had
the opportunity to examine the reply,
there is strong reason to believe he will
not only welcome but will insist upon
an immediate discussion of all the
proposed bases. So pessimistic is he
that he has already been talking to
his colleagues of his plans when the
rupture comes. Before sailing for home
he contemplates a visit to Chicago.
Texas Guards Against Infection.
Austin, Tex., Ang. 12. State Health
Officer Tabor has submitted a report
to Governor Lanham concerning the
yellow fever situation in the South,
in which he says:
"Yeilow fever exists now in Louisi
ana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and
the Republic of Mexico. Texas is
sandwiched between the infected dis
tricts, with very little hope of escap
ing invasion by the scourge with the
long summer before us. We are guard
ed as closely as possible, but it is
very hard to maintain a succesfsul
quarantine. I would most certainly
insist that there be ni mobilization of
citizens or soldiers at this time, as any
excitement might cause a general stam
pede and a general quarantine that
could tie up the entire railroad service
of the state."
The officer has also called upon the
governor to hold the entire state ranger
force in reserve subject to his orders,
as he may need them at any time to
control the quarantine situation.
Control Another Road.
Chicago, Aug. 12. By the recent
purchases of large block of Wisconsin
Central etock, it is now said the owners
of the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific roads now own a majority of
theecurities and important changes in
the management and operation will
result. The reason for the purchase is
said to lie in the fact that s'.nce the
Great Northern and the Northern Pa
cific purchased the Burlington, the
volume of through traffic has increased
to such an extent that it cannot be
handled without other outlets.
More Typhoid at Washington.
Washington, Aug. 12. There wore
25 new cases of typhoid fever reported
to the health officers today, the great
est number for any one day during the
present outbreak of typhoid fever in
this city.
